"The problem is all inside your head"
She said to me
"The answer is easy if you
Take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle
To be free
There must be fifty ways
To give the order"

She said, "It's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my level
Won't be scoffed or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself
At the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways
To give the order...
Fifty ways to give the order"

If 1/3rd of TV's doombats were forcibly turned to CC (I say forcibly because normally a ruler must accept someone turning to their side so this idea is otherwise moot) they would be UNLEAD doombats and would auto-attack, racking up HUGE penalties.

And remember, I said 1/3rd, so they're by default outnumbered, and outled via bonuses, but still, outnumbered, so the odds of something being critical or croaking a non-bat unit are... slim.

Heck, renaming those 1/3rd bats to Skyy Appletini and order them to turn. If Charlie or Shirley aren't watching close enough they could accept the turning of a few hundred bats and not even realize it!

However... with that doll dancing in/on/through Bill's head... might it be able to accept on Charlie's behalf?!

There was a bit of discussion here about the use of the word "kid", but what about the use of the word "saint"? Whilst Erfworld very definitely has religion, I don't think the concept of sainthood exists there (certainly, there has been no mention of an Erf Pope going around saying certain people are extra holy or something). I think, like other people said about the use of the word "kid", that since Erfworld copies elements from our world, it is reasonable to accept that could very well include copying words as well.

Doombats are scouts, and scouts don't auto-attack

Wouldn't work. They'd have to rename all those bats to "Warlord Skyy Appletini"

There's probably a canonical list of saints in the Book of Canon. It's the Titans who make the final descision.

The Pope doesn't make descisions himself, he only speaks as the infallible voice of God. Sort of like the Mouth of Sauron but less evil (though it is debatable for Benedict XVI, since he had the signamancy of Darth Sidious)

Eh, no, we tried this with the Actionfigure, remember? Even if Charlie doesn't feel like issuing remote standing orders to quell his new Doombat horde, Doombats are Scouting units that are exempt from auto-engage anyway.
